On the Rise: Regulating Through Pilot Programs

From the good work of my staff, take a look below at the recent trend to fund pilot projects at the Commission. This upsurge makes it essential that any pilot project have an established and confirmed end date. I don’t doubt that an occasional pilot project may be of assistance, but I worry they can divert time and effort away from fixing or improving existing programs. More importantly, we must keep in mind that these projects all come from scarce consumer-provided dollars.
